Need an example of how to use "try" and "catch"

[Pete]

You're getting an error because the catch part of try takes only 1
parameter - the variable that holds the error - not two as in the script.

Also, as noted by Peter, the try statement doesn't help you with the
specific example you used since getting a non-existant custom property
doesn't cause an error.  I've sometimes wished there was a preference
similar to the "Strict Compilation Mode" to deal with that.
